    Ceramic coating full works
    Matt V.

    I had my car fully detailed at Pacific Hand Car Wash and I'm honestly blown away. Kevin and his crew are on another level. I did a full interior and exterior detail with ceramic coating and not a single detail was overlooked. They even cleaned the dust out of the air vents and shifted the car into drive to properly clean the leather around the gear selector. That is attention most places would never even think about. There was not a single speck of dust under the seats or anywhere in the carpets. The headlight restoration alone was worth it. They removed the oxidized clear coat and applied Kevin's own blend of sealant, and the headlights look brand new. You can tell this takes real skill and dedication, not just someone rushing through cars. What really impressed me was how careful they are. I watched a towel get dropped and it immediately went straight into the wash. No shortcuts. No laziness. Just pure professionalism. The crew is friendly, efficient, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. Even on a busy Sunday morning with about ten cars ahead of me, they finished in just a few hours. I have had full details done before, but Pacific Hand Car Wash exceeded every single one of them by far. Kevin clearly knows his craft and is great to talk to. If you care about your car and want it done right, this is the place.

    Amazing service! Takes care of details and my wife was very happy to see how clean the car was. Her words " I haven't seen it like this since I bought it new out of the lot" Thank you Kevin and staff members for your services.

    There's a reason these guys are rated #1 car wash in the Bay. If you care about your paint at all, this is the place. Actually great value for the kind of work they do. If I do all that solo, it would easily take me over half a day, but I was in and out in less than one hour. Wish I took before pictures, but was too embarrassed to even do that. Anyway, enjoy the end result from these pictures! Car feels brand new

    These guys are awesome! I would totally recommend taking your car here. I have a matte finish paint and they did a great job. Super detailed and wants it perfect. Made my grill shine

    Missed spot. Just one of the few missed spots
    Carlapot R.

    Gave this place another try after a few months not coming here since the last incident/visit. Staff is always amazing and helpful, no doubt about that. But everytime I leave, there's always something -- water spots/residue, missed dirty spots, or worst, a tiny dent & scratch on my car. Prices went up like $10-$15 more but the job quality went down. They would usually clean everything, even the crevices, but today, (and the past visits) I guess they forgot? (I keep telling myself that every time I come here and would let it slide) For $60 exterior wash + tip...LOL. I might just go back to the one in SJ. Their service is waayy better and they always go the extra mile for you!

    Come here to get my car wash and detailed. Prices are high but it leaves the car looking sparkling clean. Every time I bring it here, I get so many compliments. Will def be coming back soon!

    I had an amazing experience at Pacific Hand Car Wash! Kevin, the owner, welcomed me right away and helped me choose the best service for my needs. After coming back from a camping trip, my car was in rough shape, so I went with the Extra Clean package. The results were incredible! My car looks and feels brand new! The staff was friendly, professional, and paid great attention to detail. If you're looking for top-notch service and quality work, I highly recommend Pacific Hand Car Wash. I'll definitely be returning!

    This is the spot to go to if you want your car washed and detailed. They have yet to fail me. The pricing is reasonable depending on what you are looking for. They have multiple people working on each part of the way. At the end where they dry it, they have 3 or so ppl depending on how big your vehicle is and you get to see them do the dry portion. I will say you may have to carve out an hour or so wait depending on how busy they are. I go first thing when they open. If they are that busy you definitely know they are that good...

    First time at Pacific Hand Car Wash and I was seriously impressed. I went with the Extra Clean Detail Wash and my SUV came out looking amazing--super clean inside and out, with the tires looking great too. What really stood out was the attention to detail. They clearly took great care of my car and even went the extra mile by attaching the license plate holder my dealer had left in the trunk. Totally unexpected and very appreciated. I'll definitely be coming back. Service was above and beyond. Highly recommend.

    After so shinny!

    Brought my car in for its first wash in six years after a friend's recommendation, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The owner suggested the clay bar treatment, ceramic sealant, and interior cleaning package, and the car looks amazing inside and out. The team was honest, friendly, professional, and upfront throughout the process. Highly recommend this place if you want quality work and great service.

    I came in pretty late in the day, but the service was still excellent and the staff never made me feel rushed. The attention to detail was impressive -- they took their time making sure every part of the car was thoroughly cleaned inside and out. The car looked spotless when they were done, and you can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their work. Great service, professional staff, and definitely a place I'd recommend to others. Thank you plenty :)

    They state the $80 covers vacuuming.

I was so upset because the white paint has started to set and the car had about 8,000 miles only (bought new). Steven performed an exterior detail but before he charged anything he got to work on the paint and used a couple of tricks to get the hard to clean paint out from under the trim. I was so relieved I did not need to file a comprehensive claim. Steven did a great job restoring the car to how it looked a year ago when I drove it off the lot. Today I returned for a basic wash and just made arrangements to return for an interior detail and to get a minor curb rash off one of the rims. I usually just hang out in the shop with Steven because he is so easy to be around and trust in the auto industry is notoriously hard to foster.

    I can't say enough good things about my experience with Omar and his team at Magic Auto Shine…read more I brought my 2017 Subaru Forester XT in for the XPEL PRIME XR Plus tint, and what impressed me most wasn't just the finished product, it was the amount of care they put into getting everything right. Omar was incredibly professional and knowledgeable from the beginning. He patiently answered my questions, explained the different options, and gave me his recommendations based on how I actually use my car. There was never any pressure or feeling that he was trying to upsell me. It was obvious that he genuinely cares about the work he and his team put out. There were a few imperfections after the original installation, and this is where Magic really earned my trust. Omar didn't make excuses or try to convince me they were "good enough." He took care of it and had the affected windows redone. They even kept the car longer than originally expected because they wanted to make sure everything was right before returning it to me. It's now been over a week since the replacement film was installed, everything has cured, and it looks perfect. No bubbles or anything abnormal that I can see. That level of attention to detail says a lot about a business. Anyone can provide good service when everything goes perfectly. How a company responds when something needs additional attention tells you much more about them. Omar and his team clearly take pride in their craft, and it shows both in their work and in the way they treat their customers. Magic Auto Shine will be the first place I call when I need tint or PPF on another vehicle. I highly recommend them.

I take a lot of pride in this car - I've worked hard to maintain it, so I was a little nervous to hand it over. But I have to say, talking with Omar & Martha made me feel comfortable and confident that they would do a good job. I honestly could not believe how good the car looked - seriously, maybe even better than the day I bought it 25 years ago! The attention to detail and the respect they showed the car was clearly evident in the finished product. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends because I trust they would treat them as well as they treated me. If you're looking to make your ride feel good as new, don't hesitate to call them & have them revive your car - you will be pleasantly surprised!!

Rich was…read moreresponsive over messaging, he came to the appointment on time, and was very friendly and professional overall. On the parts of the car that he did detail, he did a good job: the exterior painted surfaces, the seats, doors, carpets, and windows of the car. Having said that, there were shortcomings that prevented me from giving a higher rating. 1. Thoroughness - My car is rather dusty, so it's easy for me to visually see what areas were cleaned and what areas were not. Some spots like my center console screen and the areas behind my seats remained dusty and untouched after the detail. 2. Trunk - The trunk and engine cover, which take up about half the space of the cabin in my mid-engined sports car, were not cleaned, so half of my car looks great and the other half still looks dirty. I had asked beforehand whether their services included the same things as a list of services that a competitor provided me, which does include cleaning of the trunk, and Rich did not point this out as a difference. So either this was an oversight on the detail job or an oversight on communication. 3. Wheels - When booking the appointment, I explicitly asked whether a "deep clean of the wheel barrel" was part of the detail package, to which Rich said "absolutely". I also let them know that I did not have a water hookup, which Rich said was not a problem for them. When the job was done, I noticed that the barrels were untouched. Rich explained to me that he could not clean the barrels without a water hookup. While this reasoning might make sense from a physical limitations angle, I'm disappointed that this was not brought to my attention before the job. tldr; while the overall service experience was pleasant, and they did a good job on many areas, the job wasn't as thorough as I'd have liked, and I'm disappointed certain omissions were not communicated ahead of time despite clear opportunities to do so. This led to an overall experience that fell short of expectations.

    Before my Porsche Panamera even arrived, I spent weeks researching paint protection film (PPF),…read moreceramic coating, and detailing shops throughout the Bay Area. As someone who had waited months for a custom-ordered Porsche, I knew I wanted to protect the car from day one and wasn't willing to trust it to just anyone. I researched, visited, or spoke with nearly ten different shops before making my decision. Some were significantly cheaper. Some promised much faster turnaround times. Many claimed they could deliver the same result. Between the PPF, ceramic coating, window tint, windshield protection film, interior protection, and other treatments, my project represented an investment of nearly $20,000. At that level, I wasn't looking for the cheapest option--I was looking for the highest level of craftsmanship. One thing that stood out during my research was that many Bay Area shops quoted anywhere from 20% to 50% less than Supreme Detailworks. At first glance, that gets your attention. However, many of those same shops also quoted completion times that were only one-third or even one-quarter of the time James estimated for essentially the same scope of work. That immediately raised a red flag for me. When someone claims they can do the same work for far less money and in a fraction of the time, I start asking questions. The more I learned about Supreme Detailworks' process--paint preparation, component removal, edge wrapping, tucked installations, and quality control--the more I understood where that extra time was going. It wasn't inefficiency. It was attention to detail. I also compared Supreme Detailworks against one of the highly respected PPF shops in the Chicago area that is nationally known for premium installations. To my surprise, James' pricing was very similar. And even if I had chosen the Chicago shop, shipping the car there and back would have added roughly another $5,000 in transportation costs alone, not to mention additional time and logistics. Having that level of craftsmanship available right here in the Bay Area made the decision much easier. For my Panamera, James and his team installed PPF, ceramic coating, window tint, front windshield protection film, protection for the headlights and glass roof, interior PPF for the gloss black trim, and matte protection for all touchscreen surfaces, including the digital instrument cluster. The result is so seamless that several of my friends couldn't even tell my Panamera had PPF installed. In fact, I had to physically show them where to look and where to touch before they realized the vehicle was protected. That's how clean and invisible the installation is. What impressed me most was that James never tried to upsell me. Instead, he took the time to explain the different options and recommend what made the most sense for how I planned to use the car. One thing many people don't realize is that the true quality of a PPF installation is found in the details--the edges, seams, corners, and difficult areas where shortcuts are often taken. James and his team don't take shortcuts. They carefully remove and disassemble components when necessary to ensure the film is properly wrapped and hidden wherever possible. After investing nearly $20,000 in protection, the last thing I wanted was visible seams, lifted edges, or obvious installation lines. Supreme Detailworks delivered exactly what I was hoping for: a fully protected vehicle that still looks completely factory original. Another thing prospective customers should know is that Supreme Detailworks is almost always busy. There is usually a waiting list, and scheduling requires patience. If you're looking for the fastest shop in town, this may not be the place for you. If you're looking for the cheapest shop in town, this definitely isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a team that refuses to rush the process and treats your vehicle as if it were their own, the wait is absolutely worth it. During my visits, I regularly saw Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Maseratis, Porsches, Mercedes-Benz, BMWs, Audis, Land Rovers, Lexus vehicles, Teslas, and many other enthusiast cars in the shop. Seeing that lineup gave me additional confidence that I had chosen the right place. After seeing the finished result on my Porsche, I can honestly say my expectations were exceeded. And if you're looking for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a team that treats your vehicle as if it were their own, Supreme Detailworks is hard to beat. Thank you, James and the entire Supreme Detailworks team, for treating my Panamera as if it were your own.

    I've had work done at OCD Detailing a few times now, and they never disappoint. Yes, they're on the…read moreexpensive side, but they are hands down the best I've found in the entire Bay Area. If you own a Tesla or any high-end car and care about quality, this is absolutely the place to go. Joe, the owner, is always welcoming and clearly pours his passion into the business. You can tell immediately how much he values his team. He treats his staff like family, and it shows in their work. Everyone there genuinely enjoys what they do, and they really do live up to the "OCD" name when it comes to attention to detail. I learned the hard way that not all highly rated Yelp shops deliver real quality. After going to another popular place, a friend pointed out several issues in the work that I had completely missed. Never again! I would much rather pay for top-tier service and have peace of mind than worry about fixing problems later. Most recently, I had a front PPF and tint done on my Tesla, and the results were flawless. OCD Detailing is one of the few places capable of tinting the entire Tesla roof using a single piece, with no seams, and it looks incredible. They were also kind enough to help install hub caps I purchased separately and recommended a great source for blacked-out emblems. My car turned out beautiful. The only downside is that I live in San Francisco, so the drive is a bit out of the way, but it was absolutely worth it. I recommend OCD Detailing to all my friends whenever they're looking for high-quality PPF or tinting. If you care about your car, this is where you take it.
